Preparation Time: 20 min
Cooking Time: 40 min
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
- Soya chunks - 1 cup
- Onion - 1 big sized - finely chopped
- Tomato - 2 medium sized - finely chopped
- Masala Powder (Cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, star anise powder) - 1 pinch

- Ginger garlic paste - 1 tbsp
Procedure:
- Take 3 cups of water in a pan and bring it to boil. Add soya chunks and a tbsp of salt. Keep in low flame for 10 min allowing the soya to get cooked and become soft. Salt helps in stopping the overflow of boiling water while the chunks gets cooked.
- In meanwhile, blend the ingredients given in "to grind" into a smooth paste using a mixer by adding water.
- When soya gets doubled in size it becomes soft. Now drain out the water and rinse with cold water. Squeeze the soya to remove excess water. Put these prepared soya into a blender or food processor and mince them. Keema is ready and will like mutton keema, right?? ;-)
- Heat a medium sized pan with oil, when its hot add the masala powder. Then add chopped onion and saute for 3 min. Onion will start turning golden brown. At this point add our prepared keema. Saute in medium flame for 5 min.
- Then add tomatoes and the prepared paste in step 2. Add 2 cup of water and allow the curry to boil for 5 min in low-medium flame.
